Street Food Yum - Fun and Games

Korea is big on couple activities and this street game is one of them. This is one of the popular street games that can be found in a handful of tourist attractions and popular late hang out areas. These street vendors are usually out during late hours, in hope of attracting the young crowd.

Depending on the vendor, the prizes vary as well. There are vendors that have a variety of different candy and snacks to choose from as a prize. This game definitely brings out the inner kid and is worth the hype.

The concept of the game is simple, you pay a couple of dollars (usually two) and you're given a block of sticks that have different pictures on it. Select the numbers that you wish to cover and pick out these numbers from a bag. For those matching numbers you pick out, you will receive the corresponding shape of sugar crystal candy. For different stands, there is one giant candy that you can get if you get the special fish. Its nearly impossible, but always fun. I definitely got beginners luck picking 3/5 candies my first time!
